I used to listen to this stuff religiously when I was a teenager. Never really knew why. Not cognitively anyway. All I knew was, I was pissed off at something.

20 years later, I'm re-discovering it. But with a very different attitude. Back then, it made we wanna obliterate myself with drugs and alcohol.

Turns out it's dangerous to go down that path without a solution in mind.

However, with a possible solution, the same energy can be channeled to great effect.

Because this same stuff is the ultimate energizer to get out there and do something about all this shit.

I even listen to this with my kids, driving to school every morning. And they love it!

(Though I do filter the songs with seriously explicit language)

Hell yeah dude, I recently revisited NOFX in the gym 🤘

For me it was the Sex Pistols, Clash et al 😂 Same thing, didn’t realize the exactly what it was that attracted me, how explicitly they were raging against the machine

If you are into metal I can recommend Number One by Manowar.

Great workout track:

We love Manowar! Did you know we even have songs with former Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss? He is not on the song "Number 1" but we was the co-founder of the band and left in 1988...

Great to hear! Yeah, Ross the Boss has made a lot of cool songs for Manowar such as Hail and Kill and many other classics. Love all of the Manowar repertoire but for normies Number 1 is probably one of the most accessible songs.😄
